    The plight of Internally Displaced People, or IDPs, in Burma was a continuing problem over the year 2000. Burma contributes
    over an estimated 1 million IDPs to the estimated world IDP population of 21 million and estimated Asian IDP population of 5
    million. (The CIDKP put the IDP number at 2 million in 2000.) Internally displaced persons in Burma live under conditions of
    severe deprivation and hardship. All but few of these people are without adequate access to food or basic social, health and

    Myanmar

    The one million Burmese migrant workers in Thailand are one of the largest migrant populations in Asia. Migrant workers from Burma come from a variety of geographical locations and ethnic groups and work in several different industries and service sectors in Thailand. There are both push and pull factors at work when people make the decision to migrate to Thailand. The pull factors include the close geographical location of Thailand to Burma as well as the demand in Thailand for cheap labor.

    There are currently more than 120,000 refugees living in Thailand. Refugees from Burma are also in refugee camps along the
    Bangladeshi and Indian borders as well as working and living in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Malaysia. The line between

    their homes for many of the same reasons that official refugees have. (The topic of migrant workers from Burma is covered in

    People from Burma have become the major group of displaced persons in Thailand. Most of them are currently being sheltered
    along the Thai-Burma border, particularly in the Thai provinces of Mae Hong Son, Tak, Kanchanaburi and Ranong. It is
    estimated that there are some 40,000 children from Burma under the age of 15 accompanying their parents. In addition,
    thousands of unaccompanied children are driven across the border by the desperate circumstances in Burma. ...

    Myanmar

    It is estimated that the overall number of Burmese migrants in Thailand is somewhere in between 800,000 and one million.
    Cross-border migration into Thailand has steadily increased in recent years. Since the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Thais
    have gone to work abroad. Refugees from Burma, Laos and Cambodia have since filled this labour shortage in Thailand.
    However, many of them are undocumented, illegal workers and thus constitute the most vulnerable section of the work force.

    This report documents in detail the plight of villagers and the internally displaced in these two
    northern Karen regions. Since 1997 the SPDC has destroyed or relocated over 200 villages here,
    forcing tens of thousands of villagers to flee into hiding in the hills where they are now being
    hunted down and shot on sight by close to 50 SPDC Army battalions. The troops are now
    systematically destroying crops, food supplies and farmfields to flush the villagers out of the hills,
